Meet Sarge your future adventure buddy and certified goofball! He is 35lbs. This 1 year old cattle dog mix (with a dash of Aussie, border collie brains, and maybe a sprinkle of Lab charm) is ready to find a home where he can finally shine. He’s spent most of his life outdoors, so he’s essentially a clean slate when it comes to training think of him as a fresh canvas just waiting for someone to show him the ropes. He’s currently okay on leash and will only get better with a little consistency and patience. Like many dogs who are still figuring out the world, he can be a bit timid at first. But give him a little time, and you’ll see his true personality come out sweet, silly, and full of love. Once he trusts you, he turns into a total goofball and a “love sponge” who just wants to be close to his person. He’ll thrive in a home that’s ready to invest in him with basic training, structure, and lots of positive experiences will go a long way. In return, you’ll get a loyal companion who will grow with you and bond deeply. If you’re looking for a dog you can shape into your perfect partner, this boy is ready to meet you halfway (and probably make you laugh along the way).
